I would recommend using a different base directory for Quake, OpenQuartz
and/or oqplus (the -basedir command-line argument), similar to the way
Nexuiz Classic works in Debian. That avoids any possibility of one game
seeing the other game's assets.

So someone with the complete set would have something like

/usr/share/games/quake/id1/*.pak        # proprietary Quake
/usr/share/games/openquartz/id1/*.pak   # OpenQuartz
/usr/share/games/oqplus/id1/*.pak       # oqplus
/usr/share/games/nexuiz/data/*.pak      # Nexuiz Classic
/usr/share/games/xonotic/*/*.pak        # Xonotic

and a wrapper script for each game that runs the engine with an
appropriate -basedir argument.
